SALT Gallery hosts Elena Jones’ “Pecking Order” in June

May 22, 2018 – (Key West, FL) For the month of June, SALT Gallery (830 Fleming St., www.saltislandprovisions.com) will feature a new collection of colorful mixed media paintings by local artist Elena Jones. To celebrate Jill’s new works, SALT will be hosting an opening reception at the gallery from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 1st.

Elena Jones has been a working artist from Maine to Key West over the past 35 years. Many of her sculptures, paintings, and objects d’art are in public, corporate, and private collections worldwide. Elena’s pieces have also been featured in fine art magazines, movies, and celebrity restaurants. Elena refers to herself as a “Born Green” freelance Key West artist. Her recycled and mixed media artworks are forever evolving and evoke much joy, humor, and visual delight. Above all, she hopes that her pieces bring inner piece to their viewers.

Elena’s colorful mixed media works reflect a significant influence by the hues and materials of her surroundings. Many of her pieces are painted on pieces of reclaimed wood and salvaged tin shingles from Key West homes, making each work a uniquely tangible slice of her island home.

“We are thrilled to Elena this month because she is uniquely reflective of Key West in so many ways,” says gallery owner Laura Richardson. “Her paintings are literal pieces of Key West that burst with color and life. We think they’d look amazing on the wall of any Conch home!”

SALT Gallery features an eclectic collection of local art, local sea salts, jewelry, pottery, wine, and Florida Keys honey. Gallery owners Maria Sharpe and Laura Richardson feature a new artist each month at SALT. Elena’s work will remain on display until June 29th.
